LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Mississippi State poured its heart into stopping Arkansas' Darren McFadden, but that allowed several other players to make big plays as the Razorbacks took down the Bulldogs 45-31 Saturday afternoon in War Memorial Stadium.[details]

2006 (Junior): He lost some confidence at some point in the 2005 season and couldn't throw the ball downfield. He had the best spring of all the quarterbacks, despite suffering another hernia. With Casey Dick injured to start the season, Johnson surged ahead, played well in scrimmages and was named the starting quarterback in fall camp. Following a season opening loss to Southern California, Johnson moved to wide receiver and a change was made at quarterback.

2005 (Sophomore): Johnson came out with the first-team offense while competing for the starting spot in the spring. He had hernia surgery after the spring, but recovered just before the season started. He won the starting spot early in the spring but was replaced in the eighth game by true freshman Casey Dick after a 2-6 start.

2004 (Freshman): Johnson saw limited action as a redshirt freshman in 2004. Last year's starter, Matt Jones, worked out lightly on Thursdays, and it allowed Johnson to see significant work with the first-team offense.

2003 (Redshirt): He redshirted as a true freshman in 2003 but showed a good, live arm.

Personal: Johnson redshirted in 2003, the year he signed with the Razorbacks. Rivals.com tabbed him as a four-star recruit, and he signed with the Hogs over Kansas State in the end. Johnson was rated the No. 7 dual-threat quarterback prospect in the country in 2003. Rivals.com also rated him the No. 29 overall prospect in Texas.
